The MA in Art Law and Arts Management Program is being offered by the School of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Economics of the University Center of International Programmes of Studies of the International Hellenic University. The program aims at exploring and highlighting the functional interdependence between art law and arts management. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the legal, financial, and political considerations and the corresponding regulatory approaches implemented in Europe and elsewhere concerning the creation of digital works of art, the art trade, the operation of the markets concerned, the function of intellectual property law at the EU and international level, the protection of cultural heritage and protection against unlawfully acquired works of art. The program adopts a multi-disciplinary approach and is addressed to graduates of various academic backgrounds, including law, economics, political science, history of art, philosophy, etc., who wish to specialize in the interrelation between art, law, and the economy.

We aim to provide candidates with:

  • the specialized legal, financial, and cultural background to pursue a successful career in academia and research, private organizations that commercialize works of art, museums, and art collections, law firms practicing in the field of public sector organizations involved in the management, legal protection, re-claiming and supporting works of art;
  • legal and financial expertise in the operation and management of art markets (including sales of works of art, art portfolio management, art auctions, etc.);
  • in-depth knowledge of the national and international legal framework on national heritage, monument preservation, art loans, or archaeology laws;
  • intellectual property law expertise within a globalized art market;
  • insights on those fields of law (constitutional, civil, penal, etc.) affecting the legal protection of works of art.
